Zhu Tian: Starting from the World of Zongwu

"Fellow Daoist, you've come here in such a hurry, but do you want to fight with me?"

Song Daozi's face was covered in sweat, but he forced a smile. Looking at Song Xuan who had locked onto him, he was silent for a moment, then clasped his fists and said, "Senior, please don't misunderstand me. I hurried here because I noticed that Taoist Wu Lei had chased me out... I wanted to rush over to negotiate..."

As he spoke, he smiled awkwardly and seemed unable to continue.

Because Song Xuan's eyes were so sharp, he also knew that his words were totally untenable. It was easy to fool himself, but to fool this old monster who was suspected to be in the Mahayana stage was simply seeking death!

Song Xuan didn't say anything, just looked at him coldly. The more he did so, the more panicked Song Daozi became.

He smiled bitterly and said, "Never mind. I know you don't believe me, but I sincerely want to resolve the misunderstanding. I hope you will give me a chance!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and a storage bag fell into his hand. It was the one that contained 1.2 million top-grade spirit stones when Song Xuan had traded with him before.

"I haven't touched a single cent of your spirit stones!"

Song Xuan's eyes were still cold, and he said indifferently, "Not enough!"

Song Daozi hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, tapped the storage ring, and then took out a pill bottle.

"I still have one Fusion Barrier Breaking Pill..."

Chapter 685 From now on, I am Luo Tiandao

Song Xuan took the pills and spirit stones, and his expression eased a little.

At this moment, Song Qian came flying in the air holding the Human Emperor Banner and smiled at Song Daozi.

"Old man, guess what I'm holding. If you guess right, there's a prize!"

Song Daozi's cheek twitched.

I guess?

Bring me a Ten Thousand Souls Banner and let me guess what it is.

I guess what!

Whether you guess right or wrong, there is a high probability that you will be found a reason to put it into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner!

With a wry smile, Song Daozi took out another pill bottle and said bitterly, "Senior, I still have two ninth-grade pills refined by Master Dan Daozi, specially for treating Dao injuries... This is really the limit of what I can offer!"

Song Xuan waved his sleeves, put away the pill bottle, and nodded, "With this, the grudge between you and me is settled!"

As he spoke, he and Victoria Song turned into a long rainbow and flew straight into the sky.

As he watched the two people disappear, the awkward smile on Song Daozi's face gradually became ugly, and his heart was filled with anger.

The loss this time was too great. The Barrier Breaking Pills and Spirit Stones would be fine, but as a senior executive of the Southeast Chamber of Commerce, he could find a way to earn back the Spirit Stones if they were lost.

But the last two ninth-grade pills were simply out of stock and could not be bought even with spirit stones.

Masters who can refine ninth-grade elixirs are rare in this world, let alone elixirs that can heal Taoist injuries.

It took him almost all his fortune to get these two pills, and he even relied on the favors of his ancestors and Master Dan Daozi to get them. But now, he lost it all because of his greed!

He was furious, but he didn't dare to vent his anger on Song Xuan. An old monster in the Mahayana stage was not someone he, Song Daozi, could afford to provoke.

What's more, the brother and sister both seemed to be in the Mahayana stage, which made him dare not even think of revenge.

Helpless, he could only vent his anger on Taoist Wu Lei.

"It's all Wu Lei's fault. If you hadn't provoked that strange man in black robe, why would I have followed you here hoping to take advantage of the situation?

If not, how could this old man have lost so much of his wealth?"

Now that he had a target to vent his anger, Song Daozi soared into the air and rushed towards the sect where Wu Lei Taoist was.

"Every wrong has its perpetrator, and this whole mess was caused by Wu Lei trying to snatch the Barrier Breaking Pill from his Taoist partner!

Since Wu Lei is dead, I will use that woman to pay off my debt!"

......

Song Xuan and his sister walked around outside the city, changed into black robes, and returned to their residence in the state capital.

Inside the manor, as soon as they landed, Victoria Song asked in confusion, "Brother, Song Daozi definitely had bad intentions from the beginning. Wouldn't it be better to just put him into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner?"

Song Xuan glanced at him, and Song Erni immediately changed her words: "The Human Emperor Banner, it's the Human Emperor Banner. It's not that there are no outsiders here, so I forgot to change my words!"

Song Xuan hummed, "Remember, even if the Jade Emperor comes, it will still be the Human Emperor Banner!

As for Song Daozi, since he is willing to pay for his life, his sincerity is acceptable. There is no need to force him to death!

If he feels he has no chance of survival and crushes the storage ring, I can't go back to the void rift to retrieve the treasure, right?"

Song Qian thought for a moment and nodded, "That's true."

Song Xuan laughed and said, "Besides, Song Daozi is a man who is good at making money. It is more useful to keep him than to kill him!"

"I see!" Song Qian suddenly said, "Isn't this the ATM you mentioned before? If you run out of spirit stones, you can go there to withdraw some, right?"

Song Xuan laughed and opened his hand, and the two ninth-grade pills appeared in his palm.

"Take one of these pills and keep it as a backup!"

Song Qian took the pill curiously, looked at it over and over again, and even the light of her soul flickered in her eyes. It was obvious that she was trying to figure out the effect of the pill.

After a while, she put the pill away with some admiration, and said with emotion: "This pill actually gives me the feeling that the great Dao has manifested. I can't even see through the Dao rhythm contained in this pill."

Song Xuan smiled and said, "I just checked Dan Daozi, he is one of the most famous masters of alchemy in the Wanling Continent. He entered the Dao through alchemy and is a taboo existence at the peak of the Mahayana stage.

It's normal that you can't see through the ninth-level elixir he refined!"

Victoria Song was a little unconvinced, "We're just in different fields. If he were to compete with me in carpentry, I'd be miles ahead of him!"

As she spoke, she smoothed her hair at the temples, and a gleam began to flicker in her eyes, as if she had found some fun again.

"Brother, I've decided. Starting today, I'm going to learn how to make pills!"

She looked excited, "That Fusion Barrier Breaking Pill is only an eighth-grade pill, but it's already priced at a million top-grade spirit stones.

Wouldn’t a ninth-grade elixir be sold for tens of millions?

This stuff makes money faster than confiscating property!"

At this moment, she seemed to have found her life goal. "After searching for sixty years, I finally understand what I want to do. Brother, I want to become a master of alchemy in the future!"

As she spoke, she put her hands behind her back and walked towards the gate with brisk steps. "I'm going to buy a few suitable alchemy furnaces first, and then prepare some alchemy materials. I'll start refining the alchemy today."

When she reached the door, she turned to look at her older brother who was still in a daze, "By the way, brother, my Taoist name won't be Shura Sword anymore. You're Xuantian, and I'll be Shuratian!"

As she spoke, she scratched her head again, "Your Taoist name is two characters, and mine is three characters. It's a bit asymmetrical!"

"Xiutian?"

"Luo Tian?"

Song Qian muttered a few words in surprise, then said, "Luo Tian still sounds better. It's settled. From now on, I will be Taoist Luo Tian, ​​hehehe!"

Looking at Song Erni who was talking to herself and thinking whatever she wanted, Song Xuan couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Could it be that it was fate that triggered the opportunity for Song Erni to change her job from Carpenter Song to Alchemist Song?

As for the Taoist name Luo Tian... Song Xuan thought about it and felt it was a bit unlucky!

...

Victoria Song went to the city's Chamber of Commerce to make some purchases in preparation for alchemy.

Song Xuan was not idle either. He walked around the street twice and then came to the yamen.

In the past, his office was basically deserted except for a few civil servants who were responsible for receiving and sending documents. The captains under him never came to him to report on their work.

But today, outside his office, there were seven or eight high-ranking officials from the Imperial City Bureau, wearing identity compasses around their waists and thousand-household robes.

Seeing Song Xuan coming, a strong man with a full beard among the captains took a step forward with some displeasure.

"Sir Song, a big event happened outside the city today. Do you know?"

"Oh, I know. There was a brawl between some outsiders, and it was said that someone was killed."

Song Xuan looked relaxed and smiled faintly, "What's going on? Are the family members of the deceased here to make a fuss? Or is it someone from your family who died?"

Chapter 686 I asked you to say it, and you really said it!

After being rebuked by Song Xuan, the bearded captain looked a little ugly.

“Sir, since you know what happened outside the city, why haven’t you given any instructions for so long?

As the deputy governor responsible for specific matters, haven't you neglected your duties?"

"instruct?"

Song Xuan waved to the bearded man, "Come here!"

The bearded man hesitated for a moment, glanced at the several thousand households around him, and then thought of the task given by the ten thousand households, and immediately felt confident.

"Come over here, if you have any instructions, you can tell me now!"

As he spoke, he walked forward cautiously, but before he could react, Song Xuan slapped him in the face.

Even though Lord Song had restrained most of his strength, half of the bearded man's face was almost smashed to pieces, with blood dripping all over his face. It was a horrible sight!

After giving the bearded man a slap in the face, Song Xuan was still not satisfied. He grabbed the bearded man's neck and threw him upside down, then stuck him head and neck into the ground.

After doing all this, he clapped his hands in satisfaction and looked around at the other captains with a grim expression.

"You don't burn incense on weekdays, but only think of praying to Buddha when something happens. Are you trying to shift the blame onto me because you've encountered a problem you can't handle?"

The other captains looked at each other in bewilderment. Although they had not been slapped on the head, they still felt a buzzing sensation.

Who is this?

Throwing someone to the ground over a disagreement, is this what officials should do?

Even if you are the boss, you can't bully others like this, right?

"you!"

Song Xuan pointed at a burly man and said, "Yes, big fool, I'm talking about you. Let me ask you, what's your name?"

The big man's throat moved slightly, and his attitude became more respectful than the bearded man's. He clasped his fists and said, "Sir, this humble official Wu..."

Before he could finish his words, Song Xuan waved his sleeves, and the big man felt dizzy and flew backwards. With a thud, his head fell to the ground.

"I was just asking casually, and you dared to answer!"

Lord Song snorted coldly, "What rank are you? You are just a cat or a dog. Are you worthy enough to let me know your name?"

"grown ups!"

The remaining few people finally figured out something. This Lord Song was so powerful that it was unfathomable.

You know, the Qianhu who were knocked into the ground just now were all great cultivators in the Spirit Severing stage, but they were dealt with so easily by the adults. This strength is definitely something that only the great cultivators in the Fusion stage can do.

When they thought about how these idiots had come to cause trouble for such a powerful person at the suggestion of Lord Wan Hu, tears began to well up in their eyes.

It's over. I took sides too early. I should have waited and seen first. I shouldn't have taken the side of Wanhu Luo Changan so early!

Now, the two superiors in the fusion realm are not fighting each other from a distance, but these minions are still rushing to take the lead. Aren’t they playing with their own lives?

Look at the methods of this Lord Song. He can bury people in the ground if he wants. If they provoke him to kill them, he will find a dark and windy night and kill them all.

If several thousand households died in succession in other states, the top management of the Imperial City would definitely conduct a thorough investigation.

But this is Southwest Province, with countless secret realms and bordering the Moyuan Dynasty. Not to mention thousands of households, even tens of thousands of households often die inexplicably. Death is too common here.

The top brass in the Tiannan Region have long been accustomed to this and are even too lazy to investigate the situation.

In a word, if you have the ability, you can be an official in Southwest Province. If you don’t have the ability but have connections, you can find a way to transfer.

If you have neither the ability nor the connections, then you can only wish for the best!

If he is really dead, the most they would do is send an investigation team to go through the motions and conduct a casual investigation to appease the victim's family. His death would be in vain!

After figuring out the ins and outs of this, several people immediately knelt on the ground with a plop. "Sir, we have been busy with affairs in the past and have not come to report to you. I hope you will forgive us!"

"Sir, please forgive me!"

Outside the office, upon hearing the noise, several civil servants who were responsible for handling daily affairs for Song Xuan looked at the thousand-household officials who were kneeling on the ground in astonishment.

You have to know that these thousand households hold great power in the local area, and they are usually unruly and arrogant. Although they are clerks of the ten thousand households, they are not taken seriously at all.

Unexpectedly, today, these bigwigs who were high and mighty in their eyes, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, begging for forgiveness from their Lord Song with tears and snot. This scene was really shocking.
